Rufus was harsher, abrasive, but underneath very caring. Mateo was quiet, much less adventurous, and was dealing with anxiety. I like the contrast between the two main boys. Everything tied together very well, something I’ve come to expect from an Adam Silvera book. Sometimes they were character who’d also gotten to call, sometimes they were friends of either Rufus or Mateo, and sometimes they seemed like a random POV. It was mostly told through the eyes of the two main boys but we got little glimpses into a lot of characters who played a role in the day’s events. I enjoyed the multi-POV with the focus on Rufus and Mateo. They pulled me right into their story, these two completely different boys and their friends, and I both didn’t want to stop reading and wanted to run away because of the title and anticipation of all the crying.

This one was very unique, each of his books are so different from each other, and I fell in love with this cast of characters.

My thanks to the publisher and YA Books Central for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.Īdam Silvera is 3/3 at making me fall apart while reading his books. Adam Silvera has created a fascinating, modern coming-of-age story, and I look forward to sharing it with others so that I can talk about it. The conversations and debates I imagine it generating among teens would be awesome. This book would be a wonderful addition to a high school classroom. It’s understandable that none of them are as well put together as the two protagonists, but there are instances where the glimpses seem a bit too contrived and they distract rather than sharpen the focus on the two I really wanted to see. We just catch glimpses of some of them, and others receive a bit longer look. In the midst of Mateo and Rufus’s story are the stories of many others. The day that they spend together might seem unremarkable to someone who doesn’t know them fortunately, we get to know them both really well through some great character development. Mateo and Rufus are both beautiful souls, and though they are each flawed, their imperfections help strengthen the other. Author Adam Silvera shows how we’re all part of a single tapestry, and intersections with others can have a significance you might never understand.
MATEO AND RUFUS HOW TO
THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END should be an incredibly sad book about dying, but instead it’s a manual on how to live. Thanks to an app called Last Friend, they find each other and commit to spend their day in the best way possible-whatever that means. The date is Septemand Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio are both going to die.
